Biometrics like Face ID are coming to your smartphone whether you like it or not

The iPhone X got a lot of buzz last week for many reasons, but
one feature that really grabbed people's attention was Face ID -
the facial recognition software used for unlocking the phone.
Many expressed privacy concerns,
including the head of the Senate privacy committee, who
questioned how Apple would keep users 'faceprints' safe. The idea
of your phone knowing what you look like is a little creepy, but
we might have to get used to it. A forecast by Acuity Market
Intelligence suggests that by 2019 all smartphones will have
some type of biometric technology.

As we can see in this chart from
Statista, biometrics are predicted to be on 100% of wearables
and tablets by 2020, proving that once again Apple is way ahead
of the curve.
